of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 5% of California elementary schools

Summary

Puesta del Sol Elementary serves 609 students in grades K–6 in Victorville, California. Its 2025–26 proficiency results were 22% in English language arts (ELA), 10% in math and 8% in science. The most important finding is that proficiency was below both the Victor Elementary district and state levels in all three subjects.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools and the state, while science is farthest below the state and math is farthest below the district. ELA proficiency was 11 points below the district and 27 below the state; math was 13 points below the district and 28 below the state; science was 10 points below the district and 28 below the state. Compared with nearby-school averages of 31% in ELA, 23% in math and 20% in science, Puesta del Sol was lower by 9, 13 and 13 points, respectively. It ranked seventh of 11 nearby schools in ELA and ninth in math and science. Upper-grade math is a particular concern: 0% of fifth graders and 4% of sixth graders were proficient.

Results have moved in different directions over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 2 points, while math fell 2 points and science fell 3; the state gaps widened in all three subjects. Chronic absenteeism declined from 50% in 2021–22 to 29% in 2025–26, but remained 11 points above the state and 3 above the district. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 5th statewide percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26, up from the 2nd percentile in 2023–24; it was seventh of 11 nearby schools by percentile. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 21.7, second lowest among nearby schools. The school reported 92% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the fourth-highest share among nearby schools. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for African American students rose to the 28th percentile in 2025–26, from the 5th percentile the year before, compared with the school’s overall 5th-percentile ranking.
